:+: Fine after rain :+:

Yesterday was the 1st time I went to Changi Airport's Terminal 3 as I went to send off Hui Li as she heads to Japan for a 10 days cultural exchange programme . I'm sure she will have lots of fun especially since she's going to visit YUI's hometown ala Fukuoka .

She wouldn't be back til 2 Mon's later & she's hoping to catch some of the shows that will be aired in Japan , lucky her . She also wants to do a fair bit of shopping before she come back home that's if time permits her to do so .

I must say that Terminal 3's very big , green & beautiful although wish I can say the same thing for their carpark layout , it's so messy & it was quite a nightmare when my dad navigated though the carpark last night .

I took my 1st Stats quiz yesterday . Ironically I find the MCQ section tricky for that matter but I was able to answer the short answered questions without any problems whatsoever . Cos emotionally I haven't been stable that much for the past few weeks since I restarted school , I had thoughts of giving up & as a result I only prepared for it at the very last min but thankfully I managed to get over this hurdle .

Maybe I should take the next few days to sort out my emotional & mental problems as this's not doing good for me in anyway possible .

& say hello to my latest IT gadget purchase :

:D & this's the Canon DIGITAL IXUS 80 IS . It comes in either sky/baby blue , baby pink & sliver . I choose baby pink because sliver's boring for my liking & ironically the colour match the same colour as my alan's Kaze no Tegami single , be it single or OBI strip LOL

The past few days I had a bit of a health scare & no it has nothing to do with the latest China milk powder scandal but rather I had been having some sorta chest pains that has been bothering me for the past few days or so .

At 1st I thought it might be something heart related & yesterday I decided to head to the polyclinic at Clementi to solve the situation . I did an ECG labtest & luckily there was nothing wrong with my heart & blood pressure . Instead I'm suffering some sorta muscle pain which frankly it's painful but thankfully the pain has subsided considerably after I was prescribed painkiller medication from the doctor .

1 thing's for sure , after I have gone though this phase , I will not take my health lightly because in the beginning , I thought I was able to have a heart attack which really scares me so in a way health wise , this's my 2nd wakeup call , the 1st one was when I found out my ex ITE classmate Nurul was suffering from diabetes 3 years ago & at that time she was 19 .

I don't want to spend the 2nd decade of my life being plagued down with health problems so maybe today's the right time to start taking my health & also my studies in a more serious tone .

I think I should come up with a study/time plan in a more efficient way to manage my time & not to mention stress too . Next time if I'm feeling stressed , I should just listen to music or drink tea to calm my nerves instead of heading to the biscuit tin .

1st of all , this's my 1000th post :D which in a way it's a big hurrah for me I suppose since I 1st started this blog of mine about 3 years ago or so .

I received a letter from MediaCorp yesterday which says that LIME will cease operations & that the Oct issue will be the final issue that MediaCorp will publish which frankly surprised me because I didn't expect this coming from MediaCorp .

Then again might as well since I wanted to cancel my LIME subscription ever since they went for an over revamp which I hated it . In a way it's sad things turned out to be this way as LIME was really good when it was 1st started but then subsequently I don't know what happened as it was getting too vulgar for my liking .

As a result , MediaCorp is going to refund me back in a way of sorts with 17 issues of 8Days . I think I will call them on Mon & ask them whether can I get my $ back as this's another magazine that I hate to read & not to mention it's expensive . 2 bucks per week ? that's crazy , I rather spend $ to buy Girlfriend or something else that's more practical , like food haha

So over the weekend I spent the time recuperating & in a way I'm lucky that my problem has been solved . I think it means that I should be more careful on what I eat in the near future .

Not only that , I managed & decided to watch Bambino ! on Sat & yesterday the finale episode of Maou . I only find Bambino ! a-ok & I'm surprised at the character that MatsuJun plays . I thought Ban Shogo's character will be the same as Hana Yori Dango's Domoyoji Tsukasa . They're quite the same to a certain extent as both of them are quite arrogant & the likes but poo between Ban & Domoyoji , Domoyoji takes the cake in the arrogant factor anytime of the day .

Somemore I don't see Ban punching & kicking the daylight outta strangers on the streets too .

I find the ending of Bambino ! a bit disappointing & in general , I wasn't really feeling that much love for the show & I dislike the 1st episode big time especially when there were scenes of MatsuJun smoking although I must say that I love the food going on in the show , I never seen & heard so many different Italian foods/phases in my entire life .

On the other hand for Maou's case , oh my god , the ending's just so tragic & depressing . I never seen so many people being killed off within a single episode which's scary & all the different types of permutations that Hui Li came up with for the ending , all of them didn't came true , well most of them but it's quite sad for both Ikuta Toma & Ohno Satoshi's characters to perish together at the end of the show although ironically at the end , both the main characters understood the pain & sorrow that each of them have went though 11 years since that faithful incident which changed Ohno's character big time & Naruse Ryo / Manaka Tomoo wanted Serizawa Naoto to live in the finale episode which's weird considering that at the beginning , Naruse / Manaka wanted Serizawa's life , the wonders of dramas isn't it ?

I thought the ending will suck as from what I have read but it wasn't that bad in my opinion .

But I must say that I have to give Ohno kudos super big time especially since Maou's his 1st drama role & for him to play such a 2 faced lawyer , it really took a toll on him & with that , it's bye bye Maou . Too bad there wouldn't be a 2nd season of it :(

& for the latest VS ARASHI , they should bring back the Most Dame ARASHI (MDA) segment back & MatsuJun totally blew it in the new game which's a weird surfing game & the falling pipe game tsk & I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually glad that they lost this time round as the guys's egos were getting too big for their bridges as they had 8 straight wins (aka they have been winning for 2 months non stop) & omg , Sakurai's new hairstyle's <3 & don't get me started on the latest pic of him from Oricon Style .

Man I'm so glad that the weekend's here because well it's the weekend , like duh & not to mention I think I'm going to spend the weekend recuperating because I have been down with some sorta stomach problems since yesterday .

It's quite odd considering that I have a strong stomach to begin with & I never had such problems before prior to yesterday . At 1st I thought it was cramps but then I realise it's something slightly even worst than that because the pain kept on persisting on . I took painkillers but the pain only subsided briefly .

I finally couldn't take it & told my mum about this last night & earlier on this afternoon I went to see the doctor & he said that too much acid's building inside my stomach which explained why I felt so uncomfortable & just blah . There were instances where I felt like throwing up .

& no surprises I had problems concentrating in school yesterday & this morning but hopefully the pain will subside soon . The doctor thought it's because I skipped meals which I so don't . He suspect it's due to stress . Er I think so , probably built up stress coming from me which led to this problem .

So far the pain is slowly subsiding although I still feel really terrible . I hope this will go away in days to come .

I caught Camp Rock yesterday after Disney Channel overplayed the many trailers of the movie to death prior to the release date in Asia . I frankly find the movie only a-ok & it's nothing mind blowing unlike the other original Disney movies that have been put out in recent times .

It's essentially the camp version of High School Musical . I only like some of the songs & not all stood out which's quite unfortunate but there're some gems here & there like Devi Lovato's This Is Me Feat Joe Jonas , Jonas Brothers's Play My Music & etc .

I think Devi can be the next big thing as I really like her voice & her music that's going on in her & this's scary but nowadays whenever I look at Joe Jonas , he's like a mini MatsuJun O_O . I think it's the hair going on in both of them , gee .

Ironically Joe played a jerk in Camp Rock & so did MatsuJun in Bambino ! (ok not so much) & Hana Yori Dango 1/2/Final (gotta hate/love Domoyoji despite the fact that he's a blockhead) & speaking of Bambino ! , I haven't caught it yet . Maybe I should in the near future ?

So far , school has been a-ok for me . I'm starting to get my foot & spirit back on track & practically music & ARASHI are 2 things that's keeping me going on despite how tough my situation's at this point in time when I'm stuck with 2 subjects that I don't consider to be my fave but still life has to go on .

Hui Li & I caught the 2nd last episode of Maou earlier on & I thought last Fri was the last episode but apparently not . ARGH the plot's beginning to thicken & it's quite exciting . This Fri ala the 11th episode is the finale , I really wonder what's going to happen at the end of the show .

Will Ikuta Toma or Ohno Satoshi's characters perished at the end or something ? Only time will tell .

OMG finally after waiting for 3-4 months + , I FINALLY FINALLY managed to watch an early sneak of Hana Yori Dango Final earlier on at Cathay with Hui Li & her 2 friends & I must say it was worth the wait , big time !

Considering that I have watched the 1st 2 seasons of the dodrama on the net , it's a no brainer that I was waiting for this with much anticipation especially since the release of the movie in Japan way back in late June , it has done extremely well be it movie or song ala One Love .

In fact before I watched it , I already roughly know the plot & the spoilers but turns out what I know was actually on the surface of things but still I really enjoyed watching it earlier on & it's funny when the opening credits were rolling out , people were screaming when MatsuJun's & Shun Ogri's names were reflected on the screen haha

The plot was quite unexpected in ways or another & not to mention a bit silly but it's nice that everything worked out the way it should be at the end . I was laughing when Shun was dressed as a priest , it's like so random but the ending was quite awesome especially when One Love was played .

It's a bit unfortunate that this time the insert song aiko's KissHug was overshadowed by One Love big time considering that the 1st 2 insert songs for the 1st 2 seasons of HYD were really good but ah well .

I thought it will be even better if the FINAL Remix were to be played at the end of the movie especially since it strings together WISH , Love so sweet & One Love & the remix formed a wedding like song medley .

This's going to sound something but I actually have very little pic of MatsuJun topless & etc cos I frankly don't like to see him in that manner but I must say that in the movie , he was surprisingly quite buff & not skinny . Either he worked out extra during that period of time or it's the wonders of editing the footage but ah doesn't matter to me , I was all wide eyed & awake when that came onscreen , hee hee .

& I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually gonna miss MatsuJun donning the perm hairdo & Shun's dyed brown do because I frankly think Shun suck when he dyed his hair black . I couldn't recongise him at all when I saw him in black hair !

& as for MatsuJun , yeah I know , I detest the permdo that he donned in the drama & movie , especially in the 2nd season but still compared him wearing hair extensions 2 years ago (gross luckily I don't have any pics of him in it eew cos dude you can't carry long hair lah big time) , I take the perm anytime !

Anyway , now's to wait for the DVD to be out :) + Camp Rock & the 3rd instalment of High School Musical 3 !

I still haven't watched Wall.e yet though , I will do that , soon I hope .
